HC Deb 18 March 1957 vol 567 cc3-4W
60. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Health if a decision has yet been reached in respect to the two applications made by the hon. Member for Erith and Cray-ford to visit Miss Ivy Mary Betteridge, detained in the St. Margaret's Mental Hospital, Great Barr Park, Birmingham.

Mr. Vosper

Apart from certain special rights of adult relatives or guardians, the decision about visiting rests—under the Mental Deficiency Regulations, 1948—with the Medical Superintendent.
